A Track Record of Constant Innovation
Velocix (formerly known as CacheLogic) has a proven track record of constant innovation and advancement, with many patent applications related to network cacheing and P2P technology and a number of industry firsts. For example, Velocix was the first company to combine P2P technology with traditional CDN concepts to create a new generation CDN. Velocix was also the first company to support a full complement of CDN delivery services, including download, progressive download, live & on-demand streaming and P2P assisted delivery.
The company was initially founded as an Internet consulting business in 2002 by Adam Twiss, and other former employees from Zeus Technologies. By late 2002, the company had already established itself as networking experts and was providing consulting services to a number of leading ISPs around the world. This timeframe happened to coincide with the explosive growth of illegal P2P filestharing traffic on ISP networks around the world. Through a detailed awareness and understanding of this growing problem, Velocix developed innovative new P2P caching concepts and created a Cache Appliance solution. This solution was widely adopted by over 30 of the worlds leading ISP's for deployment on their networks, enabling them to better understand and manage their networks and gain control over illegal P2P traffic.
Our efforts in this area and associated patent filings were recognized by the UK Government with a Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Smart Award. Early commercial trials for the Cache Appliance began in mid-2003 with the first commercial sales following on before the end of that year.
In 2005 Velocix became increasingly aware of the true potential of P2P technology and the role it could play in unlocking the economics of the Internet for legitimate distribution of large digital assests such as video, software and games. These ideas developed into plans for a new generation CDN with a groundbreaking new network architecture that exploited our P2P domain expertise, whilst combining a series of associated techniques and innovations to deliver large digital assets over the web. The result was our global digital asset delivery network, designed to meet the needs of the 21st century internet. Network build-out began in mid-2006 with a commercially available service being delivered in Q1 2007.
In mid-2007, technology industry veteran and former CMO and COO of Sales & Distribution at salesforce.com, Phill Robinson was appointed by the board as CEO. Under Phill's leadership, Velocix is today poised for exponential growth, with a world class team in place, a world class network, and burgeoning demand for digital asset delivery services from both traditional and new entrant broadcasters, producers and distributors.
On January 30th 2008, CacheLogic unified its company name, products and services together under the Velocix brand. The new name and brand aligns the company's corporate identity with its strategic direction as an innovative and market leading provider of on-line digital delivery services.
